Will Levis' strong training camp is flying under the radar

For an entire offseason, fans and media members alike were invested in what Will Levis would look like in Tennessee Titans training camp.

After all, there is a sneaky amount of talent on the Titans roster, particularly on offense. That has been overshadowed by what the team has done over the last year and a half. Let's do a quick name check:

-DeAndre Hopkins: 1,000-yard receiver in 2023, future Hall of Famer
-Calvin Ridley: 1,000-yard receiver in 2023, led the Jacksonville Jaguars in receiving yards and touchdowns
-Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard: Two of less than a dozen running backs with 50 receptions and 100 rushes in 2023
-Jeffery Simmons: Pro Bowl DT
-Harold Landry: Pro Bowl EDGE
-L'Jarius Sneed: Two-time Super Bowl Champion
-Lloyd Cushenberry: One of the best and highest-paid centers in the NFL

And those are just players with name value, not including quality players like Roger McCreary, Chidobe Awuzie, Amani Hooker, Kenneth Murray, Tyler Boyd, and Jamal Adams, who all look poised to be impact players for the Titans this season.

The team might be thin in spots, but most teams outside the top-five are. In the salary cap era, it is hard to build a team and sustain depth, making it difficult to plan for injuries.

The theme all offseason has been that if Levis plays well, the 2024 Titans could finish .500 or better.

So it is surprising that Levis hasn't been getting more positive attention for the good training camp he has had so far.

Outside of a blitz period at the end of practice where the Titans offensive line was getting Levis killed, I watched the second-year quarterback spend most of the open practice in Nissan Stadium dicing up the defense in team drills and 7-on-7.

On Tuesday, stories about Simmons and Arden Key dominated the headlines for all the wrong reasons, but Jim Wyatt said that Levis was 10-of-11 in team drills on the day. While Wyatt doesn't tally up would-be touchdowns, he did say that through the entirety of training camp, Levis has only thrown two interceptions in 88 pass attempts.

Considering that Levis and the offense are still working out the kinks with the new scheme, that is outstanding by the second-year quarterback.

Fans who haven't been to an open practice will be able to see what Levis looks like with their own eyes soon, and I expect that fans will be very pleasantly surprised with what they see. By all accounts, Levis is walking the line between being aggressive and being safe with the ball, and the intermediate part of his game looks excellent.

With other storylines grabbing headlines in camp, it is good to know that Levis is flashing growth as this team's starting quarterback.
